Who knows who created this thing? It could just have easily been an Obomber supporter.

I sometimes wonder if there is or has been any other modern nation whose people have found so many different ways to hate each other. Why can't people be more like me and just hate the rich, and theology grad students (other than you, of course, dear reader), and people who play video games (other than Kyle H and Teena's family), and those jackasses who put Chimay in the fridge, and monkabee clerics (which is very distinct from monks, mind you), and the folks responsible for canceling the show Arrested Development? Focus people, focus.

We've had two new package stores open nearby in the last year, and I've had marathon talks with the managers of both over how they should treat their Belgians, and it just doesn't compute. Have you seen "Idiocracy?" All I can think of while talking to these guys is that scene where the guy asks, "Water? You mean ... like ... from the toilet?"

Owen, you have got to discover StuffFundiesLike.com, if you haven't already. I've never been a fundamentalist myself -- and, to tell the truth, I feel a certain affinity for fundies, at least for the ones who still sing shape-note hymns a capella -- but that website is an hoot. And very enlightening, at least WRT a particular dark, cobwebby corner of fundamentalism (of which I'd never heard before...I had no clue who Jack Hyles was; I lead a sheltered life).
